Shes now a security analyst for cbs news. Lets talk about what happened today. Federal authorities said the el paso shooting could be handled as a case of domestic terrorism. Why is that classification important . Well, under the patriot act, section 802, they are allowed to do that in just these instances. Theyve done it before in the tree of life synagogue shooting and poway shooting.

Look, normally this would be a violation of a terms of service and youd expect the social Media Provider to take it down themselves. 8chan doesnt monitor and so, frankly, if i was a federal prosecutor right now, id be looking at federal charges for Material Support to terrorism against 8chan. They are on notice. They know theyre being used in this way and they seem to be doing nothing to stop it. The other route is to go ask the American Internet Service Providers to not host this site any longer. Id be pursuing both routes. That conversation is going to continue. Thank you, fran townsend.

The lubrication you want, nothing you dont. Ky natural feeling get what you want now were going to turn to the weapons used. In the past week, assaultstyle rifles have been used in california, texas, and ohio. Kris van cleave looks at how weapons originally designed for the battle field remain on americas streets. Reporter assaultstyle rifles are typically legal to buy and can be equipped to carry 30 rounds or more that can be fired in seconds. In texas, they can generally be carried openly. They want to appear omnipotent and powerful. Reporter Mary Anne Otoole is a profiler. Why is it time and again in these Mass Shootings the suspect has gone out and used the assaultstyle rifle . Three reasons. Kills as many people as possible, do it in a short period of time, and look as frightening and ominous as one possibly can. Reporter the rifle used in the gimroy shooting that killed three and injured 16 was banned in california but could be legally purchased in neighboring nevada, underscoring the patchwork nature of u. S. Gun laws. California has placed restrictions on these types of rifles, manufacturers simply modify the design of new models to keep them legal and satisfy their customers. Older models can still be purchased second hand. If anybody wants to buy one, they can go pretty much any flee market that sells guns or any gun show and buy something in the parking lot if they are so inclined. Reporter the u. S. Banned the manufacture of assaultstyle weapons for ten years ending in 2004. Earlier this year, the bills author, senator dianne feinstein, proposed a similar ban that stalled in the senate.

It was a long night. It was a long day. Large volumes of blood products were used. Reporter if there was ever a time for Preventive Medicine its now says this group of doctors. Theyve had enough and seen enough. To go and talk to a mom of a child who was normal at breakfast and now is not here is the worst possible thing. And honestly, it drives us. It drives us to address this problem. Reporter doctors Ronnie Stewart and megan rainey are members of a coalition of medical professionals who are focussing on gun violence in all its forms. Rainey is the chief Research Officer for affirm, an organization trying to address gun violence through the same tools doctors use to combat problems like obesity, the Opioid Crisis and Heart Disease. That 2. 5 million fund that were raising is going to be to help us identify the shooters before they shoot. Reporter but back in 1996, congress cut cdc funding for research on how to prevent gun death because of fears it would promote gun control. Dr. Garons work on gun violence lost funding. And the rushltesult, i belies that tens of thousands of people are dead today whose lives could have been saved if that research had been done. Reporter semiautomatic rifles deliver high velocity bullets that can explode and fragment once inside the body causing devastating injuries.

Reporter to be here to remind people of the real lives lost in every mass shooting. My role, number one here, as a father, is to let everybody know joaquin. To let you know who Joaquin Oliver is. Not was. Is. This is your son . Yeah. What do you see when you what do i see in him . I see an activist. Not a victim. Reporter the face of yet another person gunned down in america as a father fights to keep his memory alive. Jonathan vigliotti, cbs news, el all ove america today, people prayed for thend inayton and for the families theyve left behind. We prayed in churches and in private. Each in his or her own way. And wondered again, what more can we do . After decades now of Mass Shootings, we havent found the answer. And then today, most americans went on with their lives spending a summer sunday with their families, appreciating them that much more. And perhaps living life to the fullest in the most positive way pwe can is the best way to hono those we lost and the best message we can send to those who would have us live in terror.
